Happy Storm Day

So here comes hurricane Sandy, are you prepared? So far it's just a whole lot of rain, but we'll see what happens. Just in case, we've made a short storm prep guide...

Number 1..

In case of flooding, if you live in low lying ground, like us, elevate your valuables. 

Save the Fryes!

Number 2...

In case the power goes out and you're unable to brew coffee/tea, make sure you have an ample supply of caffeine sources..

Number 3...

Make sure you have something to do, since driving to work is out of the question in this dangerous weather..

I'm stocked up on Chewy Bars, listening to Fleetwood Mac and making all kinds of new jewelry for the Shop and in preparation of upcoming events.

Number 4...

Have a handsome boyfriend to keep you company <3

So there you have it. 

In all seriousness, who knows when this weather will turn, we've got plenty of bottled water, non perishables, gas in both cars, and because half of our apartment is basically underground, we did elevate all our valuables. 

Everyone out there on the East Coast; Stay safe, stay dry! And don't forget to head to the Shop for a coupon code lasting through the 31st.

Weekend Recap

Well, mostly I spent the weekend grocery shopping and doing boring adult things. But we did stop by the fair on Saturday night..

Oh and here's this really cool car we saw..

Of course I found some time to work on some new things for the shop..

I think I'll pile this one on with a choker and the Skull Necklace :)

Anyways, hope everyone had an awesome weekend!!

Weekend Update

So when I was able to pull myself away from my lovely new work space we went to the Israeli Street Festival that happened to be just down the road from us. In celebration of Israel's 64th there was food, activities, crafts, and of course..really amazing music!

I also really enjoyed the little petting zoo <3

So fuzzy! :) Anyway, even though we're Jewish, I didn't grow up going to temple. We celebrated Chanukkah and Passover, we went to our cousins Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and sometimes my mother and I even lit candles on Shabbat. But I never knew much about Judaism until now. As an adult I've been exploring my roots a little more, so it was very cool to go to this little celebration!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend!!

A few more from my iPhone

So, I just got this iPhone..My first ever smart phone. You could say I'm currently a little bit obsessed with instagram and pic collaging(also checking traffic and weather). Although, I am some what of a photographer in real life. A hobbyist anyway, I love to shoot 35 mm and 120 film. Yes FILM, as in analog :) I've given myself the task of a photo a day with my old trusty film camera, but in the meantime here's a few more from memorial day celebrations..

My pretty friend <3

These dancers were so awesome! I think they must've been burning up and very tired by the end, but they did such a great job!

And of course the White Turquoise Falls Necklace

Hope you all had an awesome Memorial day!

Weekend Recap - According to my iPhone

I know that most people are off today, but I'm not and it's Monday..So here's a little weekend recap according to iPhone :)

We went to one of the local Memorial day celebrations. It was pretty neat, lotsa cool little booths set up with all different kinds of art. My favorite of which was the tie dye tent and lovely rock collection pictured above. Maybe one day soon I will have my own little booth! 

Also, I listened to this song about 600 times over the weekend! Nothing like a little Janis Joplin to kick off the summer.

Weekend Recap

We had sucha  fun weekend! The international Gem and Jewelry show came to town. It comes every few months and it is like bead heaven! Bead shows are such a great source for buying bulk supplies, you can imagine I was pretty excited!!

Mostly there's tons and tons of beads at the show, but there's also lots of vendors selling finished products. I'm a sucker for all the western items, tons of squash buckles and concho belts! There's always a few seemingly random vendors too. One gentlemen was grilling chiken and veggies on a small stove stop.

I guess Trev is a sucker for grilling, because he bought one of the grills almost instantly. Aside from being super handsome, he's also a really amazing cook! 

So the bead show was a success for both of us! I am loaded up on all kinds of beautiful gems and stones and ready to start making some new things..and Trev can't wait to start grilling in our apartment! Hope you all had a great weekend too!
